Dragoman, mikosuave and others, great job on catching up.  We'll all surge ahead and drop behind at some point, let's just finish it up strong and together.  I'm already feeling better and I see a lot of swimming in my near future.

As long as I hit my 2,000 yards tomorrow I'll be at 10,300 out of my 12,000!

I'll get over that goal easily next week and be able to cruise and cheer the rest on.

Let's go team! Gotta keep that lead up!!

I'd like to remind everyone that making our goals and winning is all fine and well, but trash talking while making our goals and winning is doing it with style!  Our fearless leader has actually ventured over to one of the other team's boards and done a little bit of this.  I'm encouraging everyone to rev up the smack talk.  On the forum threads, sig lines, training blogs, and especially over on their boards in this challenge forum.  After all, that's why it's a challenge forum, right? 

So go get 'em gang, I'm sure you can think up a lot of witty shots while you're doing all that swimming.  Just keep it fun and not personal.  Well, not TOO personal.

Boy Hangloose -- It's a good thing you're on the winning team -- or well, -- there might have to be a shot over the bow!

Now get better --- and hit the pool!  

(Is that what you're looking for   )

GO TRISTARS!

Swam this morning, a little.  But it felt good, the cold's almost gone and by tomorrow my numbers will be just fine.  How's this for a little trash talking?  If you like it, feel free to cut and paste EVERYWHERE.  Just keep swimming.

Tri Star Rap

When you hear "Tri Stars" you got to cringe

Cuz we swim like fish on a swimmin' binge.

Tri Stars go nuts when we're near da poolz

We jump right in cuz we're swimmin' fools

We gonna take the Swim Challenge thang

You don't stand a chance against Uttriman's Gang.

When you skip the pool go ahead and cry hard

Not a chance, my o-so-humble-and-self-deprecating leader.  You just keep us marching in the right direction.

Keep up the great work Tri Stars. I am only 4,600 yards away from making goal. That is definitely doable this week. Then I will be doing the happy dance....I haven't swam this much ever (of course I only learned how to swim last spring so I think my progress is good)

Anyway...keep swimming Tri Stars. Pay no attention to those noisey cannonballers. Consider the waves practice for the open water swims this summer.

Ok Tri-Stars, if I was able to get into a freezing cold pool not once but twice in the last few days, you all can get it done too!  The heater was broken at my pool when I swam yesterday but they assured me it was fixed when I left.  I was expecting to have normal temperature water this morning at 5:30am but no luck - still freezing cold!  Well, at least I had the pool to myself!

It looks like everyone is within striking distance of their goals - great job!

GO TRI-STARS!!!

Congrats to workoutbunny for going the distance!  Now there are two Tri-Starts at the finish line urging the rest of us on!

Ok, I am throwing down the gloves!  As long as the pool heater is fixed I am going to finish up my swim tomorrow morning.  That means a 3200 swim for me tomorrow.  This will be a stretch for me but it will be good chance for me to see if I can swim 2 miles.  3200 yards is 2 miles, right?

Come on Tri-Stars!!!  We are sooooo close - we can do it!!!
